Paul Pogba rejected a move to the Blues

Chelsea were fairly active during the latter stages of the transfer window, but ultimately failed to complete what would have been one of the biggest deals of the summer. Italian paper Gazzetta dello Sport today claims that the Blues had an incredible €85million bid for Paul Pogba accepted on August 24th, though the player himself turned down the move after a lengthy discussion with his agent Mino Raiola... It’s said the contract offer on the table from Roman Abramovich was a huge upgrade on his current €4.5m-a-year deal with Juve.
